A Wonderful Hollywood Movie Star Scrapbook From the 1930s and 1940s

Who so keepeth a scrapbook keepeth a good thing, and the manner in which it is kept is an indication of the presence or absence of certain qualities in the “keeper,” as order, perseverance, continuity of purpose and fixedness of memory.

A scrapbook is, moreover, an index of literary taste and feeling, and a scrapbook, or a series of scrapbooks kept for d number of years, shows how that taste may change, broaden and rise with reading and the reception of new ideas and impressions. Could we have all the scrapbooks of one lifetime extending from youth to age, we should have a literary history of that life. Those scrapbooks are most interesting and valuable which may be classified as personal; kept by someone individual for personal use and behoof; which record the workings of one brain and, in a way, the emotions of one heart.

Here’s an amazing movie star scrapbook from the 1930s and ’40s that belonged to I F Grant. And that’s all we know about it.
